KastKing Baitcasting Fishing Reel, 8.6:1 Gear Ratio/Deadbolt 10+1 , , Skipping Version-Speed Demon Elite

About this item PERFECT REEL FOR POWER FISHING - Speed Demon Deadbolt baitcasting reels were designed to eliminate frustrations anglers were having with their drag slipping when fishing heavy cover. How? Simple. We eliminated it. As a result, the reel allows for powerful, slip-free hook sets and offers anglers the retrieving power that they need to get more fish to the boat through the heaviest of cover. INSIGHT FROM THE PROS - This casting reel was designed in partnership with Major League Fishing Pro Angler and KastKing Pro Cliff Crochet. When he told us that “The only thing drag's ever done for me is get in the way or not do its duty", we decided to build a reel with no braking system, instead utilizing a spool locking physical design. There is no drag. This reel is locked down so it will not slip, even under the harshest conditions. STRENGTH WITHOUT THE WEIGHT – Because the Deadbolt baitcast reel is built for power fishing and the most aggressive anglers, we had to build it tough! The KastKing Speed Demon Elite Deadbolt utilizes an exceptionally solid aluminum frame along with carbon side covers for zero flex. This reel maintains strength while eliminating weight, resulting in a reel that weighs merely 6.7 ounces but will stand up to violent hook sets and large fish. SMOOTH AND RELIABLE – The DeadBolt baitcaster uses 10 double-shielded, stainless-steel bearings including two, free-spin super speed spool bearings that provide you with amazing ultra-smooth performance and extra-long casts plus an instant stop anti-reverse bearing for a total of 10+1 ball bearings. Spool breaking is managed with a centrifugal braking system and a fine-tuning Demon Eye for precise management of overruns and backlashes while still delivering long, accurate casts. PREMIUM FEATURES THROUGHOUT – We’ve over engineered every component in the reel for tank like dependability. High performance gears made from solid brass and a hard anodized aluminum split main shaft deliver that solid feel. Stainless steel pawl and aluminum worm drive provide smooth performance and we even made the aluminum handle 25% thicker for even more strength and hook setting power.

• BUILT FOR SKIPPING AND PITCHING - Bass anglers love to get their baits into tight areas that see less pressure and attract big fish - deep under docks, lifts, laydowns, etc. Despite the popularity of Skipping & Pitching, there haven’t been any fishing reels built specifically for this purpose…until now.
• SHALLOW SPOOL DESIGN - The Speed Demon Elite Skip & Pitch reel uses a spool that is shallower than a traditional baitcaster. Why is this important? Having less line on the reel allows for faster spool startup, meaning you can skip farther with less effort. Also, less line means less opportunity for deep backlashes - a problem experienced by all anglers who love skipping & pitching.
• RECESSED KNOT CHANNEL – Skipping & Pitching requires a powerful fishing line, meaning larger line diameters and bigger spool knots. The size of these knots can make it difficult to get the line to lay level on the spool. We’ve solved this problem by incorporating a recessed channel into the spool, thus allowing the knot to reside under the rest of the line on the reel, resulting in more even line lay for smoother fishing.
• SMOOTH AND RELIABLE – The Speed Demon Elite Skip & Pitch reel uses 10 double-shielded, stainless-steel bearings including two, free-spin super speed spool bearings that provide you with amazing ultra-smooth performance and extra-long casts plus an instant stop anti-reverse bearing for a total of 10+1 ball bearings. Spool braking is managed with a centrifugal braking system and a fine-tuning Demon Eye for precise management of overruns and backlashes.
• PREMIUM FEATURES THROUGHOUT – We’ve engineered every component in the reel for smooth and precise skipping performance but you’ll love this reel for everyday use. High performance gears made from solid brass and a hard anodized aluminum split main shaft deliver that solid feel. Stainless steel pawl and aluminum worm drive provide smooth performance. A powerful, triple disc carbon fiber drag with 18 lbs of fish stopping power will get fish out of tight spots quickly.
